History of development

From September 2, 2025, the name of the Accounting and Finance Department has been changed to the Finance, Accounting, and Auditing Educational Programs Group.

Based on the decision of the Academic Council of the S. Seifullin Kazakh Agrotechnical University dated April 1, 2022 (Minutes No. 12), the Department of Accounting and Finance was established on May 3, 2022, by merging two previously separate departments, Finance and Accounting and Auditing. “Accounting and Finance” was established by merging two previously separate departments, ‘Finance’ and “Accounting and Auditing.” Until September 2, 2025, it was called the Department of Accounting and Finance.

These two departments have significant places in the history of the university's creation, with a decade-long history and achievements in their respective fields. In particular, the Department of Accounting and Auditing has existed under various names since August 1964, when the Department of Accounting and Statistics was established.

At various times, the department was headed by renowned specialists and scientists: D.M. Shitikov (1964-1965), A.F. Shirshov (1965-1971), F.B. Yatsenko (1971-1973), Smelik N.S. (1973-1982 and 1990-1993), Suraganova S.K. (1982-1983), Syzdykov M.I. (1984-1989), Zhunusova R.M. (1993-1999), Imangazhin Sh.I. (1999-2000). Utibaev B.S. (2000-2001), Alenova K.T. (2001-2003), Ismailova A.S. (2003-2004), Kusainov T.A. (2004-2015), Baidakov A.K. (from 2015 to May 2022, before the merger of the two departments). Well-known scientists and specialists such as Professor Sh.I. Imangazhin and Associate Professor N.S. Smelik played a special role in the formation of the department.

Before the merger, the Department of Finance had its own history. It was established in July 2001 on the basis of the Department of Accounting and Auditing (Resolution of the Academic Council of the University No. 145 of July 7, 2001).

From 2001, the Department of Finance was headed by Doctor of Economics, Associate Professor Zh.A. Anafiyaeva, and from 2003 to 2015, by Candidate of Economics, Associate Professor D.T. Zhumanova. From September 2015 to May 2022, prior to the merger with the Department of Accounting and Auditing, the department was headed by Z.A. Baimagambetova, Candidate of Economic Sciences. From May 2022, R.S. Zhusupov, PhD, held the position of head of the department for one year.

In accordance with Order No. 1512 dated December 19, 2023, Z. M. Shaoukerova, Ph.D. in Economics, Associate Professor, was appointed Head of the Accounting and Finance Department.

Over the years, both the Accounting and Auditing Department and the Finance Department have made a huge contribution to the training of highly qualified personnel in the field of accounting and finance.

Currently, the main areas of scientific and pedagogical activity of the Department of Accounting and Finance are the study of disciplines, the training of highly qualified specialists, and the conduct of scientific research in the field of accounting and auditing, economic analysis, taxation, and the organization of financial activities of enterprises.
